BUTT, Mary Elizabeth
(nee Sparling)
1941 - 2018
After a lengthy battle with Sarcoidosis (lung disease), sadly, Mom passed away on Thursday, November 29 at the age of 77. Survived by her beloved husband of 59 years, Gordon Butt, loving mother of Linda, Gary (Susan), Carolyn (Gus), Gordie (Wanda), and Leslie (Cynthia). Cherished grandmother of Samantha, Jessie, Ethan, Mary, Michael, Christopher, Kyle, Terrence, Meghan, Lyndsie, and Kaitlyn. Mom will be forever remembered by the Little Burgundy Community for her dedication to the youth from the area through the Little Burgundy Sports Association founded by Mom and Dad in the '60s to the late 1980s. "It takes more than a parent to raise a child, it takes a community" and for the hundreds of youth that proudly wore the crest of the Little Burgundy Sports Association, we can profoundly thank Mom and the many community volunteers that made something very special and dear to all of us. Mom will be missed by many friends and colleagues of the former Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal and current English Montreal School Board where she retired after 33 years of loyal service. The family will receive condolences at Urgel Bourgie Feron Funeral Complex 1275 Dollard, Ville LaSalle, on Friday, December 7, 2018 from 7  9 p.m. In lieu of flowers donation to the Generations Foundation would be greatly appreciated.Please consult and sign the virtual register at www.urgelbourgie.com

Mrs.Butt,
Where to begin? First and foremost you welcomed me into your heart and your home(literally)from day one. "Jennifer, if you're ever hungry or need anything walk right in, the door's always open." I never in my life new a kinder woman(or family for that matter). You and Mr. Butt raised 5 incredible children, while taking the children of the community under your wings and in your hearts. Everyone knew you. Everyone loved you. If we could all leave behind a hint of the legacy you have we'd be truly blessed. I'm honored to have had you in my life for decades. You were one of the few genuine, passionate and truly caring individuals I've ever met. Thank you for spreading your love... to the masses. Mrs. Butt you will never be forgotten.
To the Butts my heartfelt condolences go out to you. With love and support I say, thank you for sharing your wife, mother, and grandmother with us all. May her memory forever be in your heart. XxRead more

I am saddened to hear of Mary’s (or Betty’s as I knew her) death. I have many warm memories of her as a friend and colleague at Royal Arthur School and I know how much she will be missed. My deepest sympathy to the entire Butt family at this difficult time. I think of you all as I remember Betty and those wonderful days at Royal Arthur in the 1970s.
